Today i clicked on a link here on the board that took me to a UK company doing typratings, now i dont know much about the JAA regulations but under FAA a King Air B200 is does not require a TR so that made me thing what the differences are.

I'm not 100% sure of the FAA requirements, but I think they don't require a TR for <5,700kg turboprops (Kingair) Whereas EASA requires a type rating for any turbine aircraft (jets or turboprops)

t/r required for any jet planes or any planes above 12'500 lbs(FAA).

And 12.500lbs so happens to be 5.700 Kg
In JAA-land a type rating is required for each single pilot multi-engine aeroplane fitted with turbo-prop or turbojet engines.

A Jaa licence person flying a Kingair does not need a TR, but you do need a class rating.
A Class rating is an allowance to fly a certain group of aircraft that require training common to all aircraft within the group.
A Type rating is specified if a particular aircraft requires additional specialized training beyond the scope of initial Licence and aircraft class training.
A class rating allows you to fly a kingair single man crew or a two man crew. If you have two man crew, flying a king air on a JAA licence, and only the command has the rating, when you cannot log the hours in the second seat. You will be classed as an air observer.

@flyhighspeed300 where do you get that from? When reading JAR-FCL and the EASA list of type ratings, my interpretation is that you do need a TR.
Fly high speed is definitely wrong there! Having issued rating working at the CAA previous, I know beyond all doubt that a B200 is type rating.
Which class do you even think the B200 would come under? If you're thinking MEP, perhaps revise what the P stands for Piston- last time I check the B200 was a turbine!
